    Hello! Sorry for the delay in this critique. I think I'll look at this line by line: If this wretched obsession wasn't beating in my chest, I like this first ...

    This only has one critique? This saddens me. I really enjoyed reading this, and sorry I haven't gotten around to critiquing it sooner. A couple of things, the third stanza ...

    Well, wow. At first, I didn't like this girl because she sounded so pretty and perfect. But then, how you changed it around...you described it extremely well, the way you ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: In love with you.

    It's quite cute, but the rhyming is a little obvious - eye, sky, cry, die, me, be, free, etc. You touch on some good ideas, but you touch them...and then ...

    Guh, gorgeous, you people are making me so jealous today. I like the repetition here: "We’re thinking about you. We’re thinking about the December..." Also, this is a good line: ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: My art for your heart.

    Yeah, this made me go "awwwww". I liked how you addressed music, writing and art to make your point. Only one thing: "there be no art -form" didn't sound quite ...

    Great, you've made me jealous of how you write, are you happy now? :P I just love your tone, it sounds so good. I like how you swapped red and ...
